Kia PICANTO ; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

The way you are trying to convince the lot for the Kia UFO, The new alto takes it all home by giving features which 1.6 altis, top of the line honda city dont even have.

When it comes to value for money kia picanto 2019 PKDM stands no where. You need more thn a basic flat car with four wheels without options out of the box to please a market which has been spoiled by top notch japanese cars. Koreans did so around the world by offering more in LESS.

Peace

The day IMC introduces yaris in local market: RIP Cultus/ Picanto/ City

We should have more choices, for that we need yaris/picanto/prince/Bravo etc to stay for a longer duration so that there is competition in market.
I was not comparing these above mentioned vehicles among themselves.
Names were mentioned so that every one of them competes in its class.

I would suggest come out of this dream...
IMC Yaris is replacing Gli/Xli.... it would surely be priced ar par with Auto City.
I guess nothing below 2.5-2.6 mil

sleeper (Farasat) 2019-09-16 15:25:14 +0500 #492

I think he meant the hatch version of Yaris.....whch i think can change the game.....Coz "Toyota"....plus we already hav vitz/yaris lovers here

wasiqshahab94 2019-09-16 15:30:41 +0500 #493

Don't hold your breath on that or you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment. It will be only slightly more desirable than an xli.

nagar1 (nagar1) 2019-09-16 15:32:11 +0500 #494

Being price competitive is the main thing bro...and they might not introduce Yaris with the same features as in other parts of the world

haaziq (Haaziq Mehboob) 2019-09-16 16:01:52 +0500 #495

That is for sure.

haaziq (Haaziq Mehboob) 2019-09-16 16:23:25 +0500 #496

BTW, how many of users commenting here have actually booked Picanto ? As the thread name is Owner/Fan club Thread ?
Ya saaray suni sunai baatoon walay hain ?
I think it will be better to comment on Kia Picanto once it hits the road.
There are success stories and there are horror stories.
Let Kia Picanto write its own story with the passage of time.
I am glad that there are new entrants in market now & people have cars to choose from.
Previously they had no choice. And the 3 companies/dealerships/investors were too much busy collecting own amount from the buyers, that trend will come to an end soon (if it still exist).
Cheaper or expensive, we never had any choice in past.
I can see the light of hope.

Should have started your address with "Mairay Aziz Hum Watno"

haaziq (Haaziq Mehboob) 2019-09-16 16:32:57 +0500 #498

I haven't seen any owner (other than one who booked for his cousin) till now, and thank you for your suggestion.

hash737 2019-09-16 16:35:19 +0500 #499

I always enjoy mads miklesen picture followed by your sarcasm

suhaibayaz (Suhaib) 2019-09-16 16:35:27 +0500 #500

I agree to owner wali baat rest of the speech was too jazbaati and tear inducing. Seeing light and hope etc etc.. its just a stupid car man. take it easy.

suhaibayaz (Suhaib) 2019-09-16 16:36:49 +0500 #501

Thank God someone identifies Hannibal !

HellsGuardian 2019-09-16 16:46:31 +0500 #502

name also states "Discussion thread" and obviously you discuss it first and then you buy it. Not necessarily buy it first and then discuss it.

haaziq (Haaziq Mehboob) 2019-09-16 16:46:50 +0500 #503

I will give my opinion on Picanto once it hits the road.
Dont like to comment on things that I have not used myself.
Till then I am happy that we have got choice other than Suzuki in 1000 cc category.
Good or bad choice (only time will tell) .
It looks strange people giving negative/positive comments on things which are not yet available to use.

drtariqazeem (drtariqazeem) 2019-09-16 16:47:57 +0500 #504

Yaris Hatch...
Not gonna happen...
The Yaris being tested is the ugly sedan with height double to that of Xli and smaller then current Honda city...
So brace yourself for new king

sfjsag (sfjsag) 2019-09-16 17:02:12 +0500 #505

Alhaj is smarter than Honda as they know 1.3L engine with AT would become a gas guzzler as its the same engine that is being used by Toyota in Xli and Gli variants !!!
Besides why to blame any company when we are willing to buy any vehicle with special/ limited edition batch provided it comes with excellent resale...feats, comfort and safety standards arent our thing bhai sahabs !

haaziq (Haaziq Mehboob) 2019-09-16 17:04:10 +0500 #506

My understanding of Fan Club is as per Wikipedia mentioned above. I dont see any one supporting Kia Picanto in this group as name suggests.
This thread name needs to be changed to something like "Kia Picanto character assasination thread"
without waiting for Kia Picanto hitting the road in Pakistan.

HellsGuardian 2019-09-16 17:06:43 +0500 #507

Again, the thread title is Discussion COMMA FAN club. So its both.

And what will change once it hits the road? Will price decrease? Will new features suddenly pop up once its on road. Picanto is getting its well deserved criticism.
